THIS CAR HAS A VERY EMOTIONAL STORY WITH IT. WHILE I WAS PLANNING TO VISIT PAKISTAN MY UNCLE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS CAR. I WAS REALLY INTERESTED IN PRE 67 MODELS SPECIALLY NOT THE FACELIFT MODELS.

I SAW THIS CAR AND GOT SHOCKED. IT WAS PARKED THERE FOR 14 YEARS AND WAS OWNED BY SELLERS FATHER(DECEASED). MOST OF ITS PARTS WERE GENUINE.

I DECIDED TO BUY THIS CAR. AND MY MOTHER ALSO DECIDED TO PAY FOR THIS CAR AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT. SO I DIDNT PAID ANYTHING FOR IT. OWNER BEFORE HIS DEATH GOT NEW TYRES INSTALLED AND HIS SON PUT THE CAR ON BRICKS TO SAVE THEM.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT THEY GOT SO MANY BUYERS BUT HIS FAMILY WANTED TO SELL THIS TO THE PERSON WHO KEEPS IT IN ORIGINAL CONDITION OR GENUINELY RESTORED. USUALLY PEOPLE RUIN THESE CARS BY REPLACING THEIR FENDERS WITH LATER MODELS. OR BUT MODIFYING IT IN WORST WAY.

I WAS THE ONLY PERSON BECAUSE MY UNCLE IS AN ENTHUSIAST AND HIS SON IS GROWING WITH THIS AMBITION IN HIS LIFE. SO BECAUSE OF MY UNCLE THEY DECIDED TO SELL IT TO ME.

ON 13TH OF FEB 2008 I BOUGHT THIS CAR AND TOWED IT WITH MY UNCLE'S 1974 BEETLE. IT SEEMS COOL THAT 7 YEARS OLDER WAS BEING TOWED BY 7 YEARS YOUNGER. AND AFTER 10 MINUTES DRIVE WE BROUGHT HER TO HER NEW HOUSE.

NOW THE EMOTIONAL THING WAS THAT WHILE THEY WERE PUSHING CAR OUT OF THEIR HOUSE FOR US, THEIR MOTHER WAS WATCHING THE WHOLE SCENE. SHE ASKED ALL OF HER SERVANTS ONE BY ONE TO INFORM US THAT THEY MUST GIVE THE PICS OF HER LATE HUSBAND'S CAR THAT WE WERE MAKING.

LATER BEFORE DEPARTURE, SELLER INFORMED MY UNCLE THAT HE AND HIS SIBLINGS SPENT THEIR CHILDHOOD PLAYING WITH THIS CAR.

SO, WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THIS?

WHEN THERE IS SOME CONNECTION BETWEEN THIS CAR AND THEIR FAMILY HISTORY, THIS CAR MUST BE BUILT IN A WAY THAT CAN PROTECT THEIR FEELINGS AND MEMORIES INTACT.
